Just looking out for those of you who might be like me and who sometimes are expected to know the most random of facts.
Now available should you find yourself with strangers who expect you to say something OR in your next round of trivia OR if you find yourself playing trivia with strangers.
1.) Water boatmen river bugs (who are 1/10 of an inch in length) make noises up to eight times louder than a human (relative to its body size) and are therefore now considered one of Earth's loudest creatures.
2.) The number of member nations of the UN now stands at 193, after South Sudan recently joined.
Good luck in your conversations/at your games of trivia!
